When college student Chen Huai'an woke up, he had become the poorest Jiangbei laborer in one of Shencheng's sixteen ports during the Republic of China era. He had no money, no shoes, and no name, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was whipped. Luckily, a Jiangbei Ancestors System had appeared in his mind. Its group leader, Peng Zu, shared wellness articles every day; Liu Bang never stopped talking; Han Xin cared only about winning or losing; and Xiang Yu thought he was too scrawny. Every time Chen helped a fellow Jiangbei native who was being bullied, he could summon one of the great sages. From hauling sacks and taking on the foremen to breaking into the Grain Transport Gang, building businesses, and opening banks, Chen Huai'an led a group of ancestors to earn the people of Jiangbei a living and win back their dignity on the banks of the Shen River.
